WALKING BEAST

There lived Arthur in a village. He was a butcher. People of village loved to buy beef from Arthur’s shop. He was respected in the village.

Once upon a time, when he was going to kill a cow for its beef, the cow escaped, destroying farms and huts.

People started scolding Arthur for his foolishness. Whole of the village was after the cow. They searched for it in the entire village but the cow was nowhere to be seen. Luckily Arthur found the cow in a well on the outskirts of the village. The village set a party for the occasion of finding the cow. The villagers set up a camp under the moonlight. Arthur took out the cow but the cow escaped again injuring many villagers on the way. The villagers were filled with agony, sadness and anger for the cow. They divided themselves into many group and everyone had the same mission of killing the cow.

           

The one who found the cow keep its juicy beef. The greed of villager’s was at its peak. One of the villagers found the cow in the forest. Half-alive, seeking help from villagers but the innocent animal did not know that the villagers had changed into monsters and wanted its skin. The villagers started fighting over the cow. Everyone wanted cow’s beef. At last, the villagers killed each other and the cow was eaten up by wild animals.

But the real question remains that who was the real animal, the one running to save its life or the hundred who wanted to kill it?
